How to get a hero or legend

In this optional, specialized game mode (but not exclusive to others), you can recruit legendary characters such as Arthur, Hercules, and Sun Wukong to your nation and reach new heights of prosperity, innovation, and military might. Heroes & Legends mode includes these exclusive rule changes:

  • New Heroes can be discovered through the Heroic Stories City Project or through exploration and city-state diplomacy. They will often pop up almost unintentionally and then be produced and recruited into a city.
  • The first time a Hero dies or expires (they have a limited lifespan or turns), they leave behind two Great Works of Heroic Relics : an Epic and a Symbolic item. These relics can aid their civilization for the rest of the game. Monuments can display these items in the two new Heroic Relic slots.

All heroes and legends

We will be able to recruit a number of heroes and legends throughout the game, but never one that has already been recruited by another civilization, so it would also be good to be quick in the game. Among the options we have the following:

  • Anansi
  • Hercules
  • Himiko
  • Sinbad
  • Sun Wukong
  • Maui
  • Ixbalanqué twins
  • Beowulf
  • Hippolyta
  • Mulan
  • Arthur
  • Hercules
  • Oya

Of all the listed units, some can act as military units, others are simply for support or with special actions to help the production and progress of our cities. Do not think of these only as means for war.
